For some reason, since yesterday I cannot play any video or audio file both on my computer and in any browser (for example on YouTube, etc). They just freeze at the start. I have no idea what the problem is. Would appreciate any help.
so what did you do - install something, uninstall, updated, changed some settings?

I usually update my system very often (almost every day) and I initially thought that this might be the problem, because I was using unstable branch. So, today I switched to testing branch and then downgraded all the packages using sudo pacman -Syyuu, but it didn’t help. Other than that I don’t think I did anything special.
The output is following:

so you were using unstable… try switching to stable, downgrade, reboot and check…
if it doesnt work try creating a new user and test with it
Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately it didn’t help
From yesterday’s Unstable Announcement update:
With Wireplumber 0.4.10 14 we deprecated pipewire-media-session, as upstream stopped developing it. Here the note from Arch. UPDATE: The change was reversed for now.

Removing pulseaudio and installing manjaro-pipewire instead is actually the only thing that helped me.
